Book Description

Collected in this volume are powerful dramas and psychological fiction by the nineteenth-century iconoclast now recognized as a major figure of world literature. Also included are selections from B chner's letters and philosophical writings.

About the Author

When he died in 1837, just as Woyzeck (later turned into an opera by modernist Allan Berg) was nearing completion, Georg B chner was not yet twenty-four years old. It would be almost 60 years before the first of B chner's plays Leonce and Lena was performed before a German audience--and almost 100 years before his plays were translated into English. His plays have have grown more important and more relevant with the passage of time. Today, he is considered a forerunner of both naturalism and expressionism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buchner's plays: his complete works
Reviewed in the United States on 16 March 2022
Verified Purchase
Many decades before Emile Zola codified what naturalism in theatre and in prose was and should be, and his German contemporaries Otto Brahm and Gerhart Hauptmann helped define and illustrate this newly ascendant dramatic "-ism", as well as many decades before the emergence-or even the formulation, of symbolism, surrealism and expressionism, there arose the works of a momentarily forgotten genius on the German stage, whose plays, few in number but powerful, if ambiguous in performance, still merit appreciative audiences. This genius was Georg Buchner (1813-1837), who before his early death at 23, wrote three plays that provided posterity with a dramatic exit from the previously dominant Romantic idealism of Schiller, Goethe, and Hegel. It would take many years following his premature death from typhus in 1837, even many decades, for Buchner's plays to receive the appreciation, understanding and performances they deserved, but today he is generally viewed as one of the founders of the modern Western stage. Two of his plays, "Danton's Death" (1835), and "Woyzeck" (1836/7) are superior to a great many plays written and performed today, and they will doubtless be performed for many decades to come. John Reddick, Buchner's translator, has here provided not only splendid versions of these two great plays, but Buchner's remaining two fictional works, the farce "Leonce and Lena"; and "Lenz", the first, startling description of schizophrenia; as well as his early revolutionary proclamation, "The Hessian Messenger"; the introduction to a lecture he gave "On Cranial Nerves" in late 1836 in Zurich; and a selection of his letters. "Woyzeck" and "Danton's Death" clearly are the highlights of this translation ("Danton's Death", my own favorite work of his, anticipates the remarkable many-sided spectacle treating the French Revolution and truth, "Marat-Sade" from 1964.) but for one's first acquaintance with this nearly-forgotten pioneer of the modern stage, one can not do better than read this anthology.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for Buchner lovers
Reviewed in Italy on 29 April 2014
Verified Purchase
I have discovered this author only recently due to a univerisity lecture and now I can't stop reading it. In my opinion,
Buchner is one of the most underrated (was actually unknown in his period) and also one of the most talended writers of the german literature. This book in particular is excellent: the notes are exaustive and well explained, and this is really helpful for such writer. There are also some hints and peculiarities about the author and his plays, which there are not in other editions that I read. If you want to discover more about the father of Woyzeck, this book is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for A level drama
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 April 2013

The book arrived promptly, in great condition, and is exactly what I was looking for. It's a great resource for A Level drama students, especially for wider reading in preparation for university interviews.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disgracefully garbled text.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2021
Verified Purchase
Lenz, the short novel, is an absolutely disastrous mess in this Kindle version. Parts of the text are duplicated, large sections are omitted, the pagination is nonsequential. It is a disgrace that the return window closes long before anybody could possibly have reached this section of the book which is towards the end. If Amazon are reading this will they please refund info my payment.
